Are you sure it has 70% alcohol?

That's what the label says above. I have one here which says 75% alcohol which @ €1.50 to buy would make one wonder.

I don't think that 70% alcohol means that 70ml of a 100ml bottle is alcohol. Rather that the active ingredient is 70% alcohol but it's mixed with an inert gel for application.

Just to note I wasn't able to source the item so I bought Boots anti viral hand foam instead. It is more expensive but doesn't destroy the hands.

It doesn't seem to be alcohol based, but the blurb days it kills 99% of bacteria and enveloped viruses.

They actually do contain high levels of alcohol. For use as protection against Covid, the recommendation was between 60 and 95% alcohol, usually ethanol or isopropanol. The hospital where my wife works had numerous cases of alcoholics stealing and consuming with some requiring treatment afterwards.
